    Abstract: A multiple flow-based microfluidic cell culture system that emulates mammalian physiology is provided. Tissue-mimicking cell cultures are connected by flow within a physiologically meaningful arrangement so that the pharmacokinetics of various agents to be tested in the system emulate in vivo conditions. The system includes at least two organ tissue modules, each organ tissue module including a first chamber containing an organ tissue cell, the first chamber including an inlet and an outlet for flow of an organ tissue cell-specific culture medium; a second chamber including an inlet and an outlet for flow of a blood material; and a semi-permeable membrane separating the first and second chambers. The flow of blood material through each organ tissue module is interconnected and the flow of tissue-cell specific culture medium is directed to a single organ tissue module.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus directed to formation of a connection with an ultrasonic transducer apparatus (UTA) comprising a transducer device having first and second electrodes is provided. The UTA is engaged with an interposer device surface. The interposer device is greater in at least one lateral dimension than and extends laterally outward of the UTA, and comprises at least two laterally-extending conductors. A conductive engagement is formed between the first and second electrodes and respective first ends of the conductors. A connection support substrate is engaged with the interposer device about second ends of the conductors, and includes at least two connective elements for forming a conductive engagement with the respective second ends of the conductors. The UTA is then inserted into a catheter member lumen such that the device plane of the UTA and the at least two connective elements extend axially along the lumen.
